It's a great show.

I wonder if TG4 will just show all 3 series back to back? With boxsets and what not will people wait months between series, especially when it's already aired on BBC as well?

Kasper Juul will be presenting this years Eurovision! I hope he reverts to his 2bd season hair

Does anyone know where/how I can watch Borgen from the beginning. Preferably online?

charlie_says

Just finished season 2, didn't know there was a third one. Cool!

Love it, I especially like the complexity of Kasper and the PM. I'd vote for her!

See Kasper moved up into a new sphere of entertainment :pac: co presenting the Eurovision!

Me too.

I was hoping TG4 would run it again before season 3.

I think we'll have to wait until Netflix get it - though I'm still waiting for The Killing III.

Roadkill starts this evening on BBC1. It's a political thriller staring Hugh Laurie.
Sidse Babett Knudsen plays his secret lover.

She was interviewed in yesterdays Times. Apparently she does not do nude scenes. But more importantly she mentioned that there is a fourth season of Borgen coming, probably 2022.

I haven't rewatched for years but feel a mighty urge to now.
Cannot wait for S4

The Black Oil

Was looking around earlier for any news on when this might be coming up. Mostly UK articles. However, it looks like it started in Denmark in Feb (IMDB and elsewhere differ) and we'll have to wait until it finishes locally before it reaches Netflix.

There is a least a teaser to keep us going in the meantime.

They have shown 6 of the 8 episodes in Denmark.

The Black Oil

Imagine if the other seasons didn't exist and we were starting here - just thinking of marketing, not quality. Damn, this is a good trailer.

Watched 2 episodes last night, not overly impressed tbh. The dubbed voiceovers make it very difficult to follow. The yank telling the woman what to do is a ridiculous storyline.

DeepBlue

Just watched the first episode there. Everyone seems to have aged quite a bit. Has it really been that long since we last had Borgen? Probably.

Not quite as gripping as Borgen at its best but iirc the quality was slipping by the time series 3 came out. Still, happy to comfort watch and see how it plays out. Katrine starts off looking very happy personally and professionally so you just know that's not gonna last. And "Troels" joins the cast. The son is already irritating. I can't even remember how series 3 ended.

not sure i even finished watching the last season it went off the boil so much
